There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

There is also a time limit for the summoning of the saints. Shi Zhongzhu and Chen Yun hurried to the capital early in the morning the next day. They did not take a comfortable waterway. They changed horses and did not change people along the way.

Chen Yun returned to the palace to return to his order, and Shi Zhongzhu waited to be summoned at the post station.This is the troublesome place for foreign officials to return to Beijing. If it was before, Shi Zhongzhu would have returned to Baolinghou's mansion long ago, okay?

After rushing to the capital from Guizhou in half a month, Shi Zhongzhu was exhausted. He washed up briefly and was about to go to bed when he heard someone knock on the door. Shi Zhongzhu opened the door and saw that Shi Bosong had come.

"Brother, why are you here, come in, come in quickly." Shi Zhongzhu let the door open and let him in.

Nan Shan also came in, he was the one who guided Shi Bosong, and Nan Shan poured tea for the two masters before retreating to guard the door.A servant like Nanshan, who followed Shi Zhongzhu since he was a child, also served as a guard sometimes.

Shi Zhongzhu's rank is there. Even in the post station on the outskirts of Beijing, there is a small courtyard that can be used. Now Nanshan is guarding outside the gate, and there must be guards arranged around him. Shi Zhongzhu can speak directly if he has anything to say.

"Brother, why are you here? I haven't reported my duties yet. If you come now, the sage will definitely be unhappy." Shi Zhongzhu worried.

"Worry about it, the saint's heart is not so small, it's just you..." Shi Bosong said in a low voice: "The saint in your heart is still the late emperor, you silly! It's so late, you still can't turn the corner!"

"Brother, I'm not a person who doesn't know the importance. It's just that feelings are something that you don't want to say. If you don't, you don't have it. Otherwise, how can there be such idiots and resentment?"

"Will you be able to talk, what kind of idiots complaining about women, using words indiscriminately!" Shi Bosong scolded with a smile.

"Understand the spirit, who told you to pick words."

"Okay, okay, let's get to the point. Every time I see you, you can always get the topic off track." Shi Bosong said, without giving Shi Zhongzhu a chance to speak, he asked directly: "You have been in Guizhou for several years. Come back to celebrate the saint’s birthday, but it’s a pity that I left after a meal, and my parents didn’t have time to ask anything, who knew that you made a gold mine without saying a word, this time you changed the land and returned to the country, and your father also told me Me. I just want to ask you what are your plans today, and what do you need to do at home in the future?"

"Brother, I kept it from you, you are angry." Shi Zhongzhu carefully looked at Shi Bosong, afraid that he would be unhappy.

"Stupid." Shi Bosong sighed, stroking the top of his head as he did when he was a child, and said, "Brother, why would you be angry with you, brother is just a little disappointed, if I were more capable, I wouldn't let you go to Anshun to earn your life. You don't know, when the news of the Anshun mountain people's rebellion came, my parents were worried every night, how could I sleep."

"It's all my fault that I didn't think well enough to cause you to worry, and also caused Zhenniang, Mingzhu, and An'an to suffer with me." Shi Zhongzhu said with a crying voice. If any of the three of their mothers were injured and killed in the rebellion, Shi Zhongzhu would never be able to get out of this in his life. nightmare.

"You have been big-minded since you were a child, and you are capable, and my brother will not stop you, but you have to think about your parents, wife and children before you do things. Look at what you do. Now Shumei follows you every day. Two days ago, she was making trouble. Going to sleep in the stables, you've spoiled me!"

"That's because I was ignorant when I was a child. How could I know that the fifth child learned this!" Shi Zhongzhu shouted.

"Could it be that you think you're sensible now! I won't talk about the gold mine. The sage kept it a secret, so you can't reveal the forbidden Chinese. But, when you can talk, why don't you write a letter to your family? If Dad and I If I had known, your stall is so big, why would you only give you a few soldiers, and you would definitely send more knowledgeable staff, so why would there be a rebellion." Shi Bosong hated iron for not being a steel road.

"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I just short-circuited my head at that time, and I didn't think about it for a while, and I will never dare again!" Shi Zhongzhu begged for mercy. This is actually a sequela of the previous life. A lot of good help, sometimes hinder him, like now.In his previous life, Shi Zhongzhu was doing research work. His field was unfamiliar to his parents and relatives. Among all relatives, he was the only one engaged in this field, and his relatives could give him very little career support.Therefore, he basically doesn't talk about work with his family.In the previous life, everyone was struggling alone, and he didn't notice anything.

Now that he has a huge family, with his father and brother in high positions as his backing, he never thought that he could use these resources.

"I'm asking you, tell the truth, don't be sloppy!" Shi Bosong said seriously.

Shi Zhongzhu repeatedly promised.Shi Bosong asked: "Did someone gossip in front of you, saying that you took too much advantage of the family, so you wanted to draw a line with the family?"

"What? Where is it? Brother, you really think too much! Who would tell me this, even if there is, and I'm not stupid, how could I believe it!" Shi Zhongzhu couldn't imagine what his brother had imagined?

"Then why don't you use the support from your family?" Shi Bosong also didn't understand, okay, if someone's son goes out to be an official, doesn't he often write letters to discuss business affairs with his family, and fight like cross-eyed in order to get more resources from the family.As far as Shi Zhongzhu is aloof, he doesn't tell his family anything.

If someone really provokes their brotherhood, Shi Bosong will not let such a person go. What is the most envied thing in their family in the court?It's not Shi Ding and Shi Nai's ability, nor Shi Zhongzhu's ability, it's because they are brothers in harmony and work together!

Shi Ding and Shi Nai have worked together for most of their lives, and they have never blushed. In order for Shi Ding to enter the cabinet smoothly, Shi Nai also handed over the only remaining military power in his hand, and served as Minister of the Ministry of War who did not lead the army.You know, when Shi Nai was the commander of the imperial army, he said that if he was not allowed to lead the army in this life, it would be better not to feed him!Just like that, Shi Nai still withdrew.

In their generation, needless to say, the relationship between Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu has always been very good. Outsiders always think of a mediocre heir and a brilliant pioneer, and something will always happen.Unexpectedly, Shi Bosong felt so guilty towards his younger brother that he wished he could give it to him with both hands.Besides, how is Shi Bosong mediocre? He is not as capable as Shi Zhongzhu, but it is more than enough to pass on the Bowling Marquis smoothly. What are those people who keep saying that the eldest son is not as good as the second son, what are they thinking?Shi Zhongzhu's heart is not so small, there is a vast world outside, and there is a lot to do, so what is fighting in the nest?So those who secretly expect brothers to turn against each other are doomed to be disappointed.

Shi Zhongzhu was far away in Guizhou, and he often sent things to his family. What he sent to Shi Shumei, the fifth son, was all his experience in the imperial examination, and he also made a study plan for him. Shi Zhongzhu often corrected Shi Shumei's homework. The three brothers had a very good relationship.The cousins ​​Shi Zhongbai and Shi Xiaonan also have a very good relationship. Only such historians who are united by the children of the family are the most envied by everyone, okay?

Shi Zhongzhu had no choice but to explain dumbfoundingly, "Brother! Where did you go, I don't use the resources at home, I just don't know if they can be used!"

"How could you not know! Born like you, who would know how to use it!"

"How do I know if I haven't used it before!" Shi Zhongzhu knew that he had said something wrong as soon as he finished speaking. Isn't this stabbing Shi Bosong's heart! "Brother, brother, I can't express my words, I can't speak clearly, that's not what I mean. I have been given by my parents and brothers since I was a child. How could I not have used family resources? I just don't know what to do when I am an official. It can be used for this matter, and I will definitely discuss it with my family more in the future, for sure."

"Brother Zhu..." Shi Bosong murmured Shi Zhongzhu's nickname, and said, "Brother is wrong, I saw that your career as an official went smoothly, but I didn't expect you to suffer outside."

"Brother, brother." Shi Zhongzhu was depressed, "It's none of your business, I'm just such a lonely and lonely person, I don't like to talk to others when I have something to do, I just like to be bored by myself."

Shi Bosong didn't say anything, and the two brothers just remained silent, silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You know that your family has always been on your side." Shi Bosong reacted first, and said: "I am here this time, mainly to discuss with you the matter of reforming the native land and returning to the local people. The sage agrees to be sure."

Shi Zhongzhu also calmed down his emotions, and said solemnly: "No emperor can resist the temptation to expand the territory. I can guarantee that as long as the implementation process does not go wrong, in 30 years, I will be able to turn all the mountain people in the territory of Dayue into People of Dai Viet!"

Hearing Shi Zhongzhu's categorical assurance, Shi Bosong knew that his younger brother was not a big talker, and said, "Does the historian want to arrange someone to go there?"

"The more capable people, the better, naturally. Reforming the land and returning to the local people is a sweet pastry in my opinion. The construction from scratch, a little change, is obvious enough for the saint to remember you, and the rank will rise there. It's also fast. But there are many people in the court who can see this, and the saint will not let the Shijia family monopolize such a big pie. There will definitely be a lot of competition for foreign appointments. Also, people in the clan understand us When I went to Anshun, my mother was sad for a long time. If we took the trouble to grab the spot, the people in the clan would complain behind the back that Lizhi didn’t take the clansman seriously. I don't want to do things that are good."

"Don't worry, dad is still the patriarch, and I'm still here! For those who don't want to, let him die with regret after 30 years, can you do it?" Shi Bosong said proudly.

"Well, let them regret it to death."

"Okay, it's getting late, you have to face the saint tomorrow, I'll go back first." After finishing the business, Shi Bosong didn't hesitate, picked up the cloak on the chair, and was about to go back.

"Brother, it's getting dark and there's a curfew now. How do you enter the city? Let the censor know, it's another matter of right and wrong, just rest here with me." Shi Zhongzhu stayed.

"Third Uncle has been in charge of the capital's defense for many years, and this has something to do with it." Shi Bosong said that it was very easy for him to enter the city.

"Forget it, don't go back. After all, the influence is not good. The saint is using us now. It's not a big deal to say it in the future. Don't go." Shi Zhongzhu is still worried, although going to the city is not a big deal, But in the mouth of dry talk, it became that the historian bought the imperial army, the historian formed a party for personal gain, and the historian was disloyal to the saint... The crimes are not too many, so I am embarrassed to mention them.

"You, you have been cautious since you were a child. Cheng, I listen to you." Shi Bosong saw his younger brother sincerely persuaded him to stay, so he stopped riding a horse against the cold wind, rested at the post station for one night, and went to the city with Shi Zhongzhu tomorrow morning.
